OUR Board of Directors

At Men’s Health Foundation®, our Board of Directors is not only our governing body, it is a living reflection of our mission, our values, and the diverse communities we serve. Our Board members are deeply committed to advancing equitable, culturally competent care for all men, especially those who have historically been marginalized or underserved.

We believe our Board must look like the community it represents , not just in lived experience and cultural identity, but in the breadth of professional expertise it brings to the table. From healthcare and public health to finance, law, community advocacy, and beyond, our Board is intentionally composed of leaders whose skills and perspectives ensure MHF approaches today’s challenges with clarity and purpose.

This diversity of thought and experience strengthens our ability to lead boldly and with compassion. It keeps us grounded in our mission: to connect men to comprehensive healthcare through education, collaboration, and advocacy, inspiring and empowering all men to live longer, healthier and happier lives.
